A newly published study commissioned by Ounce Labs and completed by the Ponemon Institute reveals a startling disparity between the perspective and expectations of CEOs vis a vis other C-level executives. While 64% of executives believe their organizations will be breached in the next 12 months, they don't necessarily agree on who should be held accountable, and few believe there would be professional repercussions from a breach.

This 'security disconnect' leaves corporations and consumers at risk.

Find out where CEOs underestimate the risk, where accountability lies and the value of a good data protection policy to an organization.
